How do I get better fleet expeditions?

How do I get better fleet expeditions?

I’ve been playing for a while now and I’m still only getting 1-3 star expeditions, is there a way to increase the difficulty or is it dependent on the system you’re in or something? The wiki doesn’t mention anything about this.

Which exosuit upgrade stats do you prioritise and why?

According to the wiki:

Forbidden Exosuit Modules grant at least two to a maximum of four of the following six bonuses:

  • 📷Shield Strength: increases the durability of the Exosuit’s shield.
  • 📷Core Health: adds 1 health square (the player initially has 3 health squares).
  • 📷Life Support Tanks: increases Life Support capacity
  • 📷Solar Panel Power: during the day, reduces the Life Support drain of all movement functions
  • 📷Sprint Distance: Sprint bonus: increases maximum sprint duration
  • 📷Fuel Efficiency: Jetpack bonus: decreases Jetpack’s drain on Life Support

My thoughts on these are:

  • More shield/health is always good as a buffer
  • Bigger tanks increase the time between recharges but then again fuel is cheap and plentiful
  • Does the drain reduction from solar panels really help?
  • I use the jetpack to gain distance and only rely on sprinting when the jetpack is recharging
  • I’m not sure I should bother with fuel efficiency as a) I have bigger tanks from the above bonus and b) ultimately, fuel is cheap and plentiful

What do you prioritise when choosing upgrades and what is your reasoning?

Should you grind for best forbidden exosuit module / salvaged upgrade components?

Should you grind for best forbidden exosuit module / salvaged upgrade components?

I got this idea after I noticed I’m struggling to get forbidden exosuit module with good set of buffs and high rolls.

https://preview.redd.it/icox1pf5g5mc1.png?width=725&format=png&auto=webp&s=f847830fe9da29195cfacaea1dcdc8e388bd2b33

Here you can see table with possible buffs and min/max range. For me most important buff is fuel efficiency, then shield strength and on 3rd place are both life support tank and core health.
After popping ~300 sentinel exosuit fragments I didn’t get single module with those 4 specific buffs and high fuel efficiency (up to that point max I could get was 9% fuel efficiency + 3 other buffs with pretty high rolls).
At that moment I decided to use NomNom mod, to test drop rates and see how easy or hard it is to
get 30% fuel efficiency + core health (always 33%) + 2 other buffs with high rolls.
I started yesterday, started with 1000 sentinel exosuit fragments, after this I was thinking I was being unlucky so I popped 200 more, took break and popped 1000 more (2200 total).
I also popped 1000 rebuilt exosuit modules which I believe are exact same thing with different name. Why do I think they are the same?
Look at wiki pages :

1)https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Forbidden_Exosuit_Module

2)https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Salvaged_Upgrade_Components

They both have same set of buffs and min/max range, and when dismantled they both drop same components. This makes me think coding behind both of them is the same (this doesn’t mean I am right, I just think I am).
After popping 3200 exosuit modules I had no energy left to post all this info on reddit, so I decided to leave it for tomorrow… Today when I decided to post results I was shocked because all of the stored modules from my inventory disappeared including personal refiner and neural stimulator. Both autosave and restore point were corrupted somehow… And I have no idea how to show you … this is best I could think of.

https://preview.redd.it/bwwttfl6k5mc1.png?width=1919&format=png&auto=webp&s=dce3b859caa6e1f15f0b3b791da6236bcbcffc47

Now its up to you to decide whether you believe me or not. But to have any kind of results I decided to pop today 2000 more rebuilt exosuit modules.
So here are results of my experiment (keep in mind almost all modules from yesterday are lost):
First 1000 sentinel exosuit fragments – best drop was module with all 4 buffs (fuel efficiency 12%, core health, shield strength 33% and life support tank ~104)
200 more sentinel exosuit fragments – best was fuel efficiency 9% with 3 other buffs with good rolls.
Last 1000 sentinel exosuit fragments – at around ~800 (of 1000) I got first 20%+ fuel efficiency

I added numbers manually for easier understanding

https://preview.redd.it/usq3smkwm5mc1.png?width=650&format=png&auto=webp&s=3d63f968cc1c0cff90b8ca4bc0234bcf35eea099

And here are other 2 modules which I think are the best:

https://preview.redd.it/jq8ovp9yn5mc1.png?width=1300&format=png&auto=webp&s=e6a1863e8edf94caf3a923ad8d85cd28d8bee9c1

It was relatively easy (~1:40-50) to get 4 other buffs (other than fuel efficiency) with high rolls, but up till that moment it was impossible to get 30% fuel efficiency + ANY 3 other buffs, best I got was 30% fuel efficiency + 2 other buffs.
First 1000 rebuilt exosuit modules – I finally got 30% fuel efficiency + 3 other buffs, but instead of life support tank I got sprint distance, and roll was low. Roll for shield strength was mid (around 25).

Now results from today’s 2000 rebuilt exosuit modules:
It was kinda easy (~1:70) to get module with 4 buffs (other than fuel efficiency) with high rolls, I got plenty. Examples:

https://preview.redd.it/nq665ijmq5mc1.png?width=1300&format=png&auto=webp&s=25ed867e728ae6aa01f82bea9653dea620b320f5

It was also easy (~1:40) to get 20+ fuel efficiency and 2 other buffs. Examples (ignore warning):

https://preview.redd.it/qrls32ycv5mc1.png?width=1940&format=png&auto=webp&s=0ab0cf0dcf7c213abd70a37d757e176cb3626540

While popping modules I noticed there is some kind of “rubber band effect”, where when you got 4 desired buffs, fuel efficiency will be very low + 3 high roll buffs. Or fuel efficiency low, life support tank low, other 2 high rolls. It feels like you can never get all 4 high rolls.

Most of modules with 4 desired buffs looked like this:

https://preview.redd.it/b9rd59z6w5mc1.png?width=640&format=png&auto=webp&s=4307e02f84f5000498b40a1ec184399cb57718f2

Sometimes (~1:800) modules with 4 desired buffs look like this:

https://preview.redd.it/jmnjqpj4x5mc1.png?width=640&format=png&auto=webp&s=d25e884d800d16967e4a92932d91d0b2ac5007ef

It was VERY HARD (~1:105) to find 20+% fuel efficiency with 3 other buffs.

All 19 examples (ignore warning):

https://preview.redd.it/y9st898s46mc1.png?width=2590&format=png&auto=webp&s=f1513712daf83d2ae6a7cfc8d5ef05c66b0058f8

It was EXTREMELY HARD (1:1000) to find 30% fuel efficiency with 3 other buffs. I found only 2 from today’s 2000 modules.

https://preview.redd.it/r4aftpki66mc1.png?width=1300&format=png&auto=webp&s=03b73acd93ca64aa8396d148ecde29f685b9c2c5

Conclusion

After popping 2200 sentinel exosuit fragments I didn’t get SINGLE module with 30% fuel efficiency, and any 3 other buffs. Got only one half decent module with 20+% fuel efficiency.

After popping 3000 rebuilt exosuit modules I got 3 modules with 30% fuel efficiency, and any 3 other buffs.

If you don’t care about fuel efficiency then you should definitely grind for module with 4 buffs with high rolls. But if you are like me – no, I think it’s not worth. Even when you get 20+% fuel efficiency at least one of other 3 buffs is ass.

Possible solutions?
Raising min values would definitely help, which imho will never happen…

Giving players ability to copy 1 of modules with “blank module” which could maybe be obtainable from weekly nexus mission.

New game mechanic – “karma” which you can build up by helping NPCs on planets and in space. The more you help, the more luck you will have, and both amount of buffs, and rolls will be higher.

Depending on how interesting this topic is, I may do something similar with suspicious modules for mining laser and movement.

If you hate yourself, or don’t care about your sanity you can try this yourself. Tell me later what results you got.

PSA: Requirements for Voltaic Staff (Autophage camps etc.)

Whenever I post a new staff or Atlantid find on NMSCE there are inevitably a few people who reply that they can’t find the console or don’t know what to do.

Staffs and Atlantid multi-tools are new types of multi-tool added to the game with the Echoes update. The wiki refers to the new staff as a Voltaic Staff. To acquire these new tools you need to first complete the new quest line which will unlock new multi-tool upgrades that let you scan to reveal these new hidden Autophage NPCs and their camps. The reason you can’t see them is that they are literally invisible to you if you haven’t done the questline.

The new staff is acquired via either a terminal in one of these new camps, or the terminal in a Harmonic Camp. You first need to buy the components – head, core and pole – but the class of the staff is determined by the head section, of which there are currently 7 variations: Havoc, Runic, Radiant, Concentric [?], Salvaged Head, Salvaged Claw and Salvaged Aerator. Once you know which head is required for the S-Class version, you can pick and choose your own design using the other two parts, and the colours and installed modules may change as well.

The Atlantid multi-tool is acquired from Alien monolith POIs on planets in Korvax systems only – btw these are the same monoliths where you go to activate the “brains” of a newly acquired Interceptor ship. Once you have completed the Autophage questline, a new terminals will appear at these monolith sites that lets you choose a new multi-tool.

EDIT: Also, I should add that if you see a multi-tool or ship that you want to acquire in a post here on Reddit, you need to turn off multiplayer in your game’s Network Settings before you use a portal to get to the target system. I have seen many players enter a system I’m currently scouting after reading one of my posts. If you do this, the item in question may not be there as I have already taken it! (Not sure how staffs are affected as they are created from scratch by the player, but best to be on the safe side)

Unification Day - the biggest, oldest annual No Man's Sky holiday - is in one month! If you represen...

Unification Day is a semi-fan-made, semi-canon holiday based in the No Man’s Sky simulation.

https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Unification_Day

Excerpt from a Distress Beacon at a Crashed Ship:

The logs reveal that the pilot was celebrating a festival known as ‘Unification Day’. Groups of similar minds, unable to meet but attempting to find one another, to claim worlds across time and space. Once a year their various alliances, federations, hubs, and empires united to remember all that they were, and could become in time…

This year, Unification Day is being organized by the Galactic Hub. That doesn’t mean it’s being hosted in our space, that just means I’m the one who is responsible for compiling the schedule and reaching out to participants.

So that’s what I’m doing! If you’re a member of a civilization, and you have any bases which would be suitable for hosting a Unification Day activity (minigame, PVP, racing, etc), let me know! I’ll also send you an invite to the Unification Day Council planning server.

How to efficiently farm Anomaly Detectors: a short study on drop rates between systems

So other day I decided it was time to grow my fleet of living frigates. After using up my small supply of two (2) anomaly detectors, I realized that I actually had no idea where they came from. A little digging on the wiki told me that they “occasionally” drop from destroying asteroids. Well… that’s vague. So I shot out into my local system’s deep space and began blasting some asteroid fields. One hour later, no Anomaly Detectors. After a little more research around Reddit and the Steam forums, I realized that nobody really does know how to efficiently farm these things, just that they “occasionally” drop from asteroids. I saw some theories here and there, but none with some good, solid evidence- so I took it upon myself to produce some.

To test, I decided to spend 15 minutes in various system types destroying asteroid fields. The timer starts the moment I find an adequate asteroid field, and paused if there are any interruptions (hostile ships, cargo scans, etc.).

Before I get on with the results, let’s establish what we do know about Anomaly Detector drops. Their wiki page says they drop from asteroids, but looking into the page on “asteroids” gives us another vital piece of information: they only drop from “small” type asteroids. Not the large ones that break piece by piece, and NOT the crystal type asteroids (which is the primary asteroid type in my initial system).

So without further ado, here are the actual numbers for the 13 systems I tested in order of most Anomaly Detectors to least, including their star color, primary lifeform (if any), and whether or not they are dissonant:

  • Blue “abandoned” system (Gek), dissonant- 10 Anomaly Detectors

  • Red “uncharted” system, dissonant- 8 Anomaly Detectors

  • Red “uncharted” system- 7 Anomaly Detectors

  • Red Gek system, dissonant- 7 Anomaly Detectors

  • Red Korvax system- 7 Anomaly Detectors

  • Green Gek system- 7 Anomaly Detectors

  • Green “uncharted” system, dissonant- 6 Anomaly Detectors

  • Yellow Gek system- 5 Anomaly Detectors

  • Blue Vy’keen system, dissonant- 4 Anomaly Detectors

  • Blue Korvax system- 4 Anomaly Detectors

  • Blue “uncharted” system, dissonant- 3 Anomaly Detectors

  • Blue “uncharted” system- 2 Anomaly Detectors

  • Blue “abandoned” system (Vy’keen), dissonant- 2 Anomaly Detectors

So, what do our most successful systems have in common?

… basically nothing. In fact, the #1 system has more in common with the bottom 3 than any of the other top 3. Between 1st, 2nd, and the 4-way tie for 3rd place, we have red, green, and blue systems; uninhabited, abandoned, and populated systems; dissonant and non-dissonant systems- a little bit of everything. With the information gathered, I’m very comfortable in saying that the system you search in does not matter at all. It’s all RNG.

So that’s it? All that time wasted to find out it doesn’t matter?

Well, not exactly. Knowing that the drop rate is unaffected by the system type allows us to focus on other areas to maximize our collection: Not all of those 15 minute testing periods were built the same. Multiple times, I accidentally hit NPC ships mining asteroids as well. System freighters would warp in, despawning the chunk of asteroid field I was currently harvesting. I even had a freighter distress signal interrupt me without warping. Of course, I stopped my timer for the sake of testing fairly, but it did add to the actual time spent mining. So while they may not drop more Anomaly Detectors, uncharted and abandoned systems wind up being more efficient for farming Anomaly Detectors, as you’ll experience fewer interruptions.

So after over 3 hours of mindless asteroid blasting, I can definitively provide the most efficient way to farm Anomaly Detectors:

  • Step 1: Warp to an uncharted or abandoned system. Any system color will do.

  • Step 2: Locate an asteroid field and verify that it does not contain any of the “crystal” type asteroids. If it does, repeat step 1.

  • Step 3: Blast to your heart’s content! If you install a Cargo Scan Deflector, you should have next to no interruptions whatsoever!

Hopefully somebody out there finds this post useful. I know it was a lot of text for a rather underwhelming conclusion, but at this point I was too far in to not post my results. And even if it wasn’t super productive, it was fun doing some actual research on a relatively undocumented topic in the game.

Anyway, now I gotta go figure out what to do with 72 Anomaly Detectors.

Happy hunting, travellers!
